BACCALAUREATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Objectives: The Music Area exists to serve three primary functions: 1. To provide students who wish to major in music with a thorough professional training so they will be prepared to enter the teaching profession as music educators, or to become professional performing musicians, or to go into some aspect of the music industry. 2. To provide students who are not music majors with musical experiences in both academic and performing areas. Some of these students will take a prescribed course of study, and will receive a minor in music. 3. To serve Weber State College in a public relations capacity by providing musical programs for civic groups and schools in our immediate area, and throughout the state of Utah and surrounding states. Education: The Music Area has been accredited by, and is an Associate Member of the National Association of Schools of Music, and grants bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees. Specific departmental course requirements are outlined in the major program following this preface; other requirements of music majors are listed below: PianoBasic and practical piano skill is required of all music majors. PerformanceMusic majors are required to participate in a major performing ensemble each quarter. Each ensemble course may be repeated for a maximum of six credit hours. Concert and RecitalsMusic majors are expected to attend all departmental recitals and concerts and a specified number of community and symphony concerts. Senior RecitalA solo recital to be presented during the senior year is required of all music majors. Music FeesA fee of $45.00 will be charged to students taking private lessons for credit. This fee must be paid at the time of registration each quarter; the student will receive nine private lessons. Jury ExaminationAll music majors are required to perform in two jury examinations each year. These examinations will be held at the end of fall and spring quarters. Professional and Career Outlook: Many career opportunities are available in music to the student who possesses talent and determination. Among these opportunities the most prevalent are in the music education profession. The Music-Department of Weber State College enjoys an excellent reputation in the training 170 Humanities Music of school music teachers, and in recent years has been able to place all of its prospective teachers in good positions following graduation. The Department also provides prospective elementary school teachers with a background in music, which will prepare them to teach music in the elementary school. Other students who may not wish to pursue a career in public school music teaching have discovered that good opportunities exist in the field of private instruction in which the teacher gives lessons in his home or studio to students of all ages. In the field of musical performance, job opportunities are limited and competition is severe. There are more opportunities in the field of popular music than in the area of symphonic performance, and it is generally admitted that the field of professional solo recital performance is extremely limited. There are many career opportunities in the music industry in the areas of sales, musical instrument repair, music copying, arranging, recording, musical theatre, music therapy and other related careers.
